What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It is less well reviewed than 71 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, World of Warships (free, scores 47) beats it on value, while it beats World War 3 (scores 0).
Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 749 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
It is still busy. 102 players were in it at once at the last check, across 81 days of tracking.

What players say
Epic, Got 30 FPS, I Prefer Normal hahaha, I love this kind of Strategic Militaric Game, HOpe to see more game like this, oh ya, dont rush so much, this game need you to be patient a bit hhahaha
If you liked the Socom games you will like this. It's really just a top down Socom. The controls are fine, I maybe play a top down game once every few years and I was able to hop in and start playing with no issues when it comes to controls. No idea what these monkeys are having issues with but if you have 2+ brain cells the controls are great and the camera is really easy to adjust
This is a complicated review for a game with a complicated back story. Thunder Tier One is an abandoned game (that's probably enough for the thumbs down), from Krafton. It's a top down tacticool multiplayer shooter with no multiplayer (Krafton killed the servers). But you can play single player... with a sloppy, afterthought AI that makes for genuinely un-fun gameplay. Despite the AAA production values. So why is it...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Thunder Tier One scores 23/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/377300/thunder-tier-oneThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 13.
